Montgomery Wards off Big Slick
Jason Glass raised to 140,000 preflop from middle position and play was folded around to Scott Montgomery in the big blind. Montgomery announced all-in for 1,000,000 even, and Glass made the call with A
K
. It was a race as Montgomery held JJ
. The flop brought no help for Glass, coming 6
53. Neither player held a heart, making the 9 on the turn of no consequence, and the 9 on the river meant Montgomery took the chips and Glass was crippled down to 85,000.
Montgomery put those additional chips to good use just a couple hands later. Montgomery was in the small blind and limp-called the big blind of Brokos. Brokos then put in a raise for another 100,000, and Montgomery called. The flop came A52, and after Montgomery checked, Brokos bet 150,000. Montgomery called. The K hit the river and again Montgomery checked. Brokos stabbed at the pot with 350,000, and Montgomery then announced a check-raise to 1,000,000, which accounted for half his stack. Brokos tanked for several minutes, then announced all-in, having Montgomery covered. Montgomery made the call and showed K5 for two pair made on the turn. Brokos held A10 for top pair. He needed help on the river, but the 9 didn’t provide it, and Montgomery doubled up again. Brokos was left with 2.3 million.
Kido Pham sucks out and doubles up
It folded around to Pham in late position and he moved all in for 725,000. Joe Bishop, who ahd over seven million to start the hand, called.
Pham: AQ
Bishop: AK
Board: Q33J8
Pham caught a queen and held on from there. He now has 1.5 million chips.
Glass Swept Up
Jason Glass managed to triple up his 80,000 on one hand, but a few deals later he decided to go all-in while holding A6. Andrew Brokos had raised preflop with KJ. Glass dodged the flop which came Q84, but the K on the turn hit Brokos. The 8 on the river made it official and Glass was eliminated.
Chris Crilly Eliminated by Chino Rheem
Crilly and Rheem saw a flop of 922 and Crilly checked over to Rheem. Rheem bet 200,000 and Crilly moved all of his chips in against the aggressive Rheem. This was not the time to be cagey, however, as Rheem called with QQ. Crilly was drawing to three outs with his AQ. The turn was the 8 and river was the K, and with that Crilly was eliminated. The hand lifted Rheem up to about 5 million in chips.
Mauro Lupo Misses Flush, Dean Hamrick’s Ace High Good
On a board of K873, Dean Hamrick fired a bet of 375,000 into a large pot. After taking a moment to deliberate, Margo Lupo called the amount and awaited the river card. The dealer put down the K, and Lupo checked. Hamrick quickly checked behind, and Lupo revealed A5 for a missed flush draw. Hamrick turned over AQ, and his ace-high with a queen kicker was good enough to take down a very large pot. Lupo finished the hand down to under 2,000,000 in chips, and Hamrick’s stack improved to over 3,000,000.

Big Hands and Storylines
Jason Glass Doubles Through Paul Snead
Jason Glass moved all-in from middle position for his final 280,000 and action folded around to Paul Snead in the big blind. Snead thought for a bit and eventually spoke up: “I will give you some action and.... call.” The cards were turned up: Snead had 44 and Glass had A4. The camera crew shrouded the table from the view of spectators, so Snead called out to his family that he was way ahead. The flop was K95, and Snead remained way ahead. The turn was the 3. Before the river card was dealt, Snead requested of the dealer, “Don’t make it a red deuce!” The river? The 2.
Snead rose from his chair, ripped the temporary Full-Tilt logo from his hat, and emphatically slammed both the logo and his hat into a nearby garbage can. Snead took his seat only to realize that he had another Full-Tilt logo on his shirt. He stood from his chair a second time, folded up the Full-Tilt logo, and calmly dispensed it in the garbage.
After the hand Snead was down to 650,000.
Geert Jans Eliminated in 62nd Place
Geert Jans found himself in prime position to double up when he was all-in with AAcs against Nikolay Losev’s QJdh on a board of Q76hch. His happiness did not last long though. The turn card was the Qc, and when the river came the 9s, Jans found himself taking the slow walk away from the playing area. For his 62nd place finish he will take home $115,800.
Marquis Makes Nines Work
Brian Tatum was operating with a shortstack and was under the gun when he raised to 125,000. Play folded around to Craig Marquis who reraised to 325,000. Tatum then moved all-in for another 385,000 and Marquis called, showing 99. Tatum was live with AJ, but missed the flop that came KK3. The 3 on the turn was another miss, and the K filled the board but improved Marquis’ hand at the same time. Tatum was eliminated in 63rd place.
Chris Zapf Doubles, Then Busts
Garret Beckman raised from middle position to 80,000 and Chris Zapf moved all-in for about 250,000. Beckman made the call with QJ and his cards were live against Zapf’s AK. The board kept Zapf’s lead safe, however, and he managed to double up to 520,000. Later in the level, however, Zapf's luck would come to an end and he would be eliminated in 66th place.
Osterland Stands his Ground
Felix Osterland raised to 100,000 and David Rheem was quick to call from the next seat in the cut-off position. The rest of the field folded, and the flop came down Q75. Osterland bet 100,000 and Rheem again followed him into the pot. Osterland then checked when the 10 showed on the turn, and Rheem took the opportunity to bet 200,000. Osterland then fired back with an all-in check-raise for another 875,000. Rheem decided to lay his hand down.
Michelle Hits and Runs, and Runs
Tiffany Michelle raised to 90,000 preflop, and was called by Marquis in the cut-off and Jamal Kunbuz in the big blind. The flop came 865, and after Kunbuz checked, Michelle bet 275,000. Both of her opponents folded. A few hands later Michelle was moved to another table to balance the field. Then a few hands after that, her new table was broken down and she was moved once again.
